Is it wrong to cultivate a love of country music in the Inferiorettes solely because it'll drive their father mad?

It is, isn't it. He hasn't come up to the study once since I started playing Johnny Cash.

My mum played country constantly when I was a child. I can't stand it now.

So I think your kids are safe.

My late FIL loved the dixie chicks and had it played at his funeral.

nah

surely it's in every girl's education to get to boogie to Dolly Parton's 9 to 5?

lol
Ah lurve Country.
Merle Haggard is where it is at.

(I did cultivate my weakness in the Appalachians as opposed to Prestatyn which,I tell myself,makes it okay.)

absolutely not. I once went in to a record shop and swore blind to dh that they didn't have KD Lang. he told me to look in the country section. I have since changed my view wholeheartedly. And I rather like the Cowboy Junkies too.

Actually I think it's probably proof of something or other that DP didn't scarper forever after I put on Lucinda Williams after our first ahem ever night together.

My favourite C & W title is this gem:-

"You're the reason our kids are ugly".

My dad loved c&w and I am still a closet c&w fan.

I'm an uncloset fan.

We all love love the film 'Brother Where Art Though'. Dh, dss and I sing along to the country music in it. We have the CD and a few others by the musicians featured in the film. My sons do cracking rendition of 'keep on the sunny side'
sung by little girls in the film but as the ds's voices have not broken they can reach the top notes ok.

I love Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Johnny Cash too. The children are less keen so far I would say, but I am not going to give up yet...

ooh I am doing JUST the same

Poor DH sits there with his Six Music and the lovely children are singing JOLEEENEEE JOLEEENEEEEEEEEEEEE

HAHAHAHAH

serves him right for making me listen to his dreadful rap ghetto music - fgs he is a 45 year old man from a nice house in North London

wanna borrow a Cajun CD?

oooohhhh jolene - love it classic, I am a secret Dolly fan

"....we have chicken every sunday when the preacher comes around
and every saturday morning daddy takes us all to town..."

come on now all of you join in!

thanks dreaming. as soon as i saw your post I knew it enter my head and stay there probably for at least 24 hours

Not wrong at all. Johnny Cash is a colossus of world music bla bla.
If dh can make me sit through No Bloody Way Home more than once, or fire up the atonal honkings of Miles Davis, I don't see why I should not encourage the children to enjoy the might of the Shotts and Caledonia Pipe Band, or some nice loud Electric Light Orchestra.
Tormenting partners with highly personal choices of music is the lifeblood of many a relationship. Involving the children is just another way of parents sharing the love

Ha, this thread has made me go hunting for my personal country fave, Stompin Tom Connors, who is mad and v v Canadian with it. Nobody else seems to have ever heard of him ...

I think Johnny Cash is HUGELY sexy

ok not now he is dead

but even when he was like 70

WOOF

is that just me?

Yup, just you MP.

I used to work in a C&W bar, that was enough to put me off.
how about
Your Coffee's on the Table but Your Sugar's Walking out the Door

Hmm - MI, I remember discussing your love of country music in the past, and if you remember, it is one of my secret topics of deep knowledge/experience. I wholeheartedly agree with your passion for the genre.

Never mind your dh, how do your dds react to Johnny Cash? And what music does your dh think should be used to form their musical tastes instead?

Revived this thread to say result! They've been dancing their teddy-bears to the tune of 'Jackson'...

That's my girls.
